• Scientific communication and quality: Draft/review project specifications, protocols, statistical analysis plans, study reports, abstracts, posters, and manuscripts; ensure adherence to SOPs and high scientific/operational quality.

• Internal decision support: Provide RWE & HO input to internal decision-making during development and commercialization planning (e.g., trial design considerations, data gap assessments, value messages, evidence prioritization and sequencing).

• External insight generation: Maintain strong alignment with Field Based Payer Medical Teams and other field stakeholders to obtain customer insights; incorporate insights into evidence plans and value communication needs.

• Vendor and budget management: Manage vendors and contractors for assigned studies, including scope, timelines, budget tracking, and change control; escalate risks/issues proactively.
